Washington/Port-au-Prince - The Haitian prime minister Sunday estimated that 70,000 bodies have been recovered from the earthquake wreckage of Port-au-Prince. Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive told the US broadcaster ABC that that number is probably a low estimate, as an untold number of victims have already been buried by their relatives already.

International officials have increased their estimate of the number of dead from Tuesday's 7-magnitude earthquake to 200,000, up from an earlier 50,000, according to US Lieutenant General PK Keen, who spoke to ABC news.

Myabe he's busy burying his loved ones? or perhaps he's helping the people of his country and that is more important than speaking to the world because Haitians aren't sitting around their TV's waiting for him to speak because they don't HAVE TV's). Soeaking to the public would only be for those of us who are safe and secure in our homes and I bet he has more important things than Americans who need to hear what he has to say.

I think he should spare a couple of minutes, not to satisfy us, but perhaps reassure the Haitian American citizens here, who likely still have friends and family in Haiti. Besides, our President has a lot of things on his plate, but that never stopped him from speaking in front of a camera! LOL
